Roast pork was great. Roast duck was decent. Intestines were ok. Service could use a few smiles.

My family had been coming here for decades until their quality went down. Now that they're under new management, they're back to their former glory. They were the spot Chinese BBQ back in the day. I've only had the Roasted Duck here and it was tender and didn't try out. 10/10 read more

Food is tasty but not worth the price. The butcher was very forceful. I told him i wanted a certain piece of pork and he gave me a more boney piece with barely any meat. He kept telling me that the piece he gave was very good when I told him I wanted the piece I picked. You pay by the pound not by piece. read more

New China Station has been around for awhile. It is located right next to Lion Market. It's usually crowded and popular. BBQ Pork - simple syrup or a honey glazed to the pork. It's flavorful and juicy. Roast Pork - crispy skin and tender meat. Well, depending on what part you get. I'd come again! I'd like to try their roast duck next. read more

Best roast duck around. Butcher cuts the duck into serving portions. Includes plum sauce. Cash only, no cards. Roast pork also available.

30+ years at this location. 27$ per roast duck as of 2/2024. Nobody else below 30$ in 2024. Higher volume than any 99 ranch or any other bbq restaurant outside of sf or oakland chinatown. Haven't found anything more consistent with high volume. Restaurant prices 30-80$ but some include other extras like customized hoisin dipping sauces or buns. Char siu (Xa Xiu) 14.50/lb but was on sale at 9.99/lb with yellow sign near the entrance. Dry. Not worth it; better to make your own. Zero fat in it. In the old days they used pork belly but they can't do that because of cost. They use some cut of pork shoulder or pork butt and mechanically slice it. In the old days there is one part of the pork butt they specifically use for char siu; today they slice the entire cut regardless of where the muscles are. Better to learn to make your own. Haven't found any place in south bay where it is worth buying char siu anymore. Lucas explains at 7.50 the right fatty cut to use for char siu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkYA_RxuLBw They have enough volume where you don't get 2day old product. Cash only. Limited english. Highest volume bbq in south bay. Many customers from Cupertino, Sunnyvale area read more

New China Station - 200 drying ducks - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

No frills Chinese barbecue store beside Lions. They do not have seats for you to eat. Basically, when you come in, place your order, they chopped it up and you move down the line and pay. Oh, they only take cash. Not sure why others rated it low. There is no ambiance and chairs are stacked to the side. I ordered a pound of barbecue pork and whole roasted duck. The barbecue pork was delicious esp the charred areas. I wish it had a little more fat. The roast ducky was fatty, tender and delicious. Just the way I like it. I'll have to try their roast pork next time! Will be back! read more

Tried finding this place --- only works if you use the street address. Don't use the name because it doesn't work. Last minute order of whole roast pig to be picked up in two days was not a problem.

Definitely a hidden gem, hole in the wall, mom and pop shop! This is located to the right of Lion Supermarket in the Lion Plaza. My family have been coming here for a couple decades now and continue to come here for their deli meats. This is the place to go to pick up roasted pork, roasted duck, bbq pork, chicken, and more! Came here on Saturday morning to pick up a whole roasted duck and a couple of roasted pig feet for early Lunar New Year dinner - Yelp says they open at 11am, but there was a line earlier than 10:30am already! In my opinion, they have the best deli meats in San Jose, hands down. They have perfected the marination flavor for the meats and it's always so flavorful and tender. Service is quick. Quality of their food is great. Prices are slightly higher than other places but you get what you pay for. For a whole roasted duck and 2 roasted pig feet, it came out to $32. read more

Ordered their smallest bbq pig and it had a lot of meat. Not too much fat at all. The skin was crispy and crunchy and they pre-cut by request with an additional fee. They rearrange it so that it looks like a whole pig which is aesthetically pleasing. It did have a lot of little bones bits probably due to the bite size cuts. Typically, the 99 Ranch people cut a bit larger but this place cuts a bit smaller. Everyone thought it was very tasty! read more

Always the go to place for Roasted Duck or Pig. My family has been coming here for over 30 years and I will probably continue to go myself.

No they are not closed despite some Yelp reviews. We picked up roasted ducks from them just couple of days ago. The sign probably got damaged and was removed. The ducks were flavorful however I don't think they are Peking Duck as it lacks the "peking" strong flavor. Price is on point! Quick pickup, cash only, and they actually opened at 10:30am when we got there. read more

Definitely go early. You get fresher meat before noon. Always crispy and juicy, never dried. Their duck is very good and their pork is one of the best in San Jose for roasted pork at a Chinese bbq place. read more

This place is nothing but bad news! The quality of the food is below average and customer service is nonexistent. Dirty place stay away!!!

When it came down to ordering a whole roasted pig for an event, New China Station BBQ was the only place that came to mind. My guy and I arrived 3 days prior to our event and was approached by the lady owner. She immediately went over the cost difference and the sizes of each offering. She recommended for us to purchase a medium whole pig but being the overachievers that's we are, we went for the LARGE. Customer service was great during this visit and the entire process was very quick. A deposit is mandatory on big purchases so come prepared. Pick up was an absolute breeze and the large was definitely overkill for our 80+ guests but the more the merrier right?? 5/5 stars, everyone raves about how delicious it was but I already knew that was gonna be the case. Highly recommended. read more

HIDDEN GEM. Literally, a hidden gem. On the maps, it shows this spot to be inside lion supermarket but it is not. This spot is located right next to the right entrance of lion supermarket! It is CASH ONLY. What I love about this spot so far - THE DUCK IS GOOD! Super duper good. The price is reasonable! It was only $11.50 for half a duck! That's cheap for San Jose! Last time I paid close to $15 for half a duck in SJ. Last but not least, they have a lot of duck. Which means this must be what they're known for. They also have roasted crispy pork - which is what I'll come try next time. Please stop by and help them out by ordering their food! I'm pretty sure COVID is taking a toll on a lot of restaurants right now. Plus ample parking! :D Note** I forgot to take a picture of the duck because I was starving lol read more

This is where I got my whole pig for my Dam Hoi/Vietnamese Engagement Party. The pig was about $260 and then you have to buy some bread. The pig was about 20ish pounds I believe? It was enough to feed 80 people. People were raving about the roasted pig. The white guests at my engagement party really loved it. The skin was nicely crispy. Pork nicely cooked and flavorful. It was the hit of the party! Note: CASH only. And order before hand for the roasted pig- at least read more

Very decent Chinese bbq. Take out only and no dine in. This is a hole the wall place probably you'll notice when you come by to buy some groceries. Typical you probably don't wanna eat here or see the kitchen place. The food is surprisingly decent. I always come here when I see my dentist at this area. I usually order: Char-siu, flavor is on point. Not overly sweet or salty, what I like about it is that it has a little charred flavor other's don't have. The char-siu here is very lean though. Some might like it, others might find it not tender enough. Roast duck. Also above average. Slightly crispy skin and well flavored duck meat, with minimal unpleasant taste from the duck. It's still tasty when it's gone cold. But, sometimes you get a uneven piece where it's burnt. BBQ wings: Sweet, honey glazed wings which I like a lot, meat is tender and juicy, the wing is also decent sized too. Intestines: No bad odor, which means well cleaned. Good marinated flavor. Overall, decent place if you're nearby read more

Definitely not in and out kinda BBQ places on weekends. Expect 20 to 30 min on weekend mornings. They seem to have a lot of roast ducks hanging, and almost everyone in front of us was getting half or whole duck. Maybe I'll try that next time. This review is for the soy sauce chicken that I bought. For chickens, 99 Ranch on Hostetter has them way better! read more

Food was delicious. It was no frills and pick up only. Service was straight forward.. duck and roast pork and pig ears. I'm sad it's closed.

Negative stars if possible. I've been a regular at New China Station but today will be my last visit. I asked if I could get a specific piece of BBQ roast pork and instead of accommodating the request by going to the back to get the piece as the butcher should since that's good customer service... the staff refused and told me to move over so they'd serve someone else instead since I don't want that piece next to what I asked for and looked hella dry. I was honestly shocked by the lack of effort or basic customer service. It's disappointing when a place can't even make any effort for a loyal customer or any customer for that matter. After this experience, I'll be finding somewhere else to buy. BTW, the owner changed so the quality isn't the same as before. read more

This place has been here for at least two decades. Their menu offers BBQ Peking Roasted Duck, Soy Sauce Chicken, Pork Intestines, BBQ Roast Pork, Marinated Chicken Feet -- all prepared with their super secret signature house Chinese BBQ recipe. The roasting is done in-house and if you pay close attention while you're paying at the register, you can see the big bad equipment running the show in the kitchen. The cashier is always the same lady who rarely smiles and says no other words outside of giving you what your end price is for the purchase. No small talk at all. Ideally, you would pick something up from here if you're feeding a family or large group. The rating is attributed to the consistency of taste and quality of their Chinese BBQ menu. Although, take note that it is a hole-in-the-wall type of joint. read more

I bought some roasted porks & roasted duck here last Thursday evening. While the meat are much less salty compared to the past, which I prefer, the flavor is lacking, much less. I guess they marinated with less ingredients, hence the lacking flavor. The meats still taste like roasted pork & duck, but they don't have a rich aroma like in the past, yet the price had increased. The last time I bought fr. them, the roasted pork was around $14/lb. Now, it's increased another dollar. In addition, I find the meats are old & dry, especially the roasted duck. Perhaps , due to I bought them toward the end of the week. I guess only weekend is when they have freshly roasted porks/ducks. I've always been buying during weekends, but last week, I was craving for them & wanted to get them right away. Should have waited. read more

New owner bbq not as good as before. She open this place for 30 years. She retired last month

A small yet hardly obscure Chinese BBQ place next to Lion Supermarket. We fortuitously arrived at a lull, with a long line extending out the door a few minutes later. Simple, straightforward business of ordering: Told them we want a whole roast duck, handed over cash, and walked out with the food. No small talk, no fuss, and no problem. The small physical space made social distancing between customers a challenge though. The roast duck tasted delicious and filling. Nice and crispy. read more

Solid roasted pork, bbq pork, roasted duck, but the place is run down and surely need a facelift, and a bit of deep cleaning! But I think this is why people like to come here!

To order the whole roasted pig, only 4 days in advance which is awesome. read more

Decent bbq lunch with roast pork and duck. The pork was tastier than the duck, rice was a bit over cooked. The pork wasn't as tender as other places, and they don't have veggies for the rice combos. Small shop with cash only. Pork intestines were actually better than I expected but the flavor was still subtle. read more

Bar none this is the best place for roast duck and roast pig. Whole roasted pigs can be ordered and come in 3 sizes. Other meats were also great but my goodness their duck is just ultra juicy and flavorful with thin crispy skin and succulent meat. Always a queue every time I come here so expect some wait time. The men behind the counter who chop up the meats were very professional and efficient. Cash-only and they are definitely not hurting either. read more

I had a great experience here! My Vietnamese isn't the greatest & there was definitely a language barrier but I'm super happy with the service I received. Took a while for them to figure out what I wanted as my Vietnamese again, isn't the best. Pointed at the duck & they proceeded to chop it for me. $23 for a full duck which is a great price & I'd happily come here again as it's my grandpas favorite! Kind of hard to find, it's right next to Lion Supermarket. Cash only. I'm even more happy with the service I received here, I had somehow spilled chocolate on myself & they guided me to the back to wash my hands haha. Duck tasted delicious! Skin was crispy as ever, & the meat itself was super tender & juicy. Would definitely come back again! read more

- - Cash Only - - Came in here today to get my whole roasted duck and it was delicious! Juicy and tender with the amount of its flavors coming out as you bite into them! When ordering they also give you a small cup of soy sauce. There was no line today when I arrive, so it was an easy come and go. Meaning, I went inside to order what I wanted and while I waited for my roasted duck to be cut into smaller pieces for me; I had the chance to browse a few other selections as well. Varies from roasted duck, pork innards, roast pork, and other items. Would definitely come back to try the roasted pork since I didn't get the chance to! A lot of reviews were mentioning that the lady was "rude" or "disrespectful", but for some oddly reasons she was a sweet heart to me. She was talking to me, smiling and just seemed like she was in a good mood. Suppose she had a change of heart or she just won the lottery of some sort! Would've been 5 stars for me, but there was a herd of flies flying around the not near the food area, but where the tables were seated from across. I don't like insects or anything for that matter, so meh. read more

I love New China Station BBQ Restaurant for two reasons- delicious food and decent customer service. This place is forever recommended whenever whole roasted pig, duck, or chicken is needed. The pricing can be at a higher amount than other places but I am a fan through and through. Trust in the constant lines that continue to build as you wait for your turn with the butcher. This business wouldn't be booming if it wasn't good. read more

Being coming to this Chinese bbq station all my life. My latest visit was to order a whole pig for my engagement party. Not going to lie it definitely was a little hard to place an order on the phone, due to the language barrier. You have to place the order in person and give a $100 deposit. I ordered the small pig and it was $280. The taste of the pig was delicious!! I will definitely be coming back to order another in the future. I had about 15-18 ppl at my party and i didn't have a whole lot of leftovers but enough for a couple of lunches the next 3 days. read more

To start off, I'm Cantonese and in the South Bay, it's really difficult to find a good Chinese BBQ place for roast duck, soy sauce chicken, and roast pork. If you're fortunate enough to live in SF, give Ming Kee a try. They're about as good as it gets. New China Station is by far the best one I've found in the South Bay. I bought a whole roasted duck which costs $21.00. Cash only. It was done properly and it came with 1 little cup of soy sauce. You can ask for the plum sauce too but I found it a little too watery for my taste. Many people complained about having to pay for additional sauce. Don't, if you want it, just pay for it. I think it's fair. Now... to everyone who gave this place a negative review... I think there's a huge discrepancy between what the restaurant is and what you want it to be. What it is: 1. It's a take out Chinese BBQ. 2. It's been there for over 30 years. They have been doing this for longer than most of us. 3. You're not going to change the way they run their business. 4. Their BBQ is excellent but because of the way they do business (you can call it old-school), don't expect to be "served". You basically order, pay, go home and enjoy your food. That's it and nothing more. Some negatives that are valid: 1. They don't speak in English very often. I think they can but it's not what they're comfortable with. 2. There's very little in terms of customizing your order. You buy what's on their menu. 3. The menu is written in Chinese and Vietnamese. This makes things difficult if you want to try something different. I speak a little but can't read. So I just point and ask. read more
